Hey,
Can you elaborate what happened? if It's public of course. It's hard to
understand the problem without proper context.
The edits are public, but I don't really want to be specific, as that
would likely derail the discussion.
The pattern I'm seeing is: team gets a big project (in this case UCoC)
-> team hires -> newbie makes good faith edits that are known to cause
offense to some members of the community. This pattern can be broken
only if the organization has a process to teach newcomers things that
seem obvious to old timers ("don't go over community decisions if you
can avoid it", "don't change content", "try to talk to people
before
doing a major change", "not everyone speaks English", "affiliates are
not the community" etc.)
My question is: does the WMF has such a process?
Is it

Hi,
It seems the WMF is going through another crisis of institutional
memory, with the T&S team taking center stage. It's not really
important what they did wrong, it's minor compared with other faux-pas
they did in the past.
I was wondering though if the organization as a whole has learned
anything from major crisis in the past and if there is a formal way of
passing to newcomers information such as when and how to contact
communities, what's the difference between a wiki, a community and an
affiliate etc.?
